"Through the production of an art commodity. the artist has become a businessman. In order to market his com­modity and increase its commercial value. he must create a mystique about himself and his work. The gallery is the means through which the commodity is dispensed. The museum serves the purpose of sanctifying both the com­modity and the artist. The collector is the stock specula­ tor. The corporation patrons use the commodity as a sanctification and sanitization of their image. The art mag­ azines are the trade journals. the financial reports of the art world. And the critic serves the function of whip hand for all."
